- I've failed every IQ test I've ever taken.
That's because to increase my intelligence, I've taken a different path.
One that any brain can handle. 🧠
Will it be the right path for you?
I don't know, but I thought you might like to learn my conclusions about how to increase IQ.
I've thought about the problem for years.
And now I'm happy to share with you what I think is the better, or at least more likely path to becoming smarter.
Keep in mind that SMARTER in the MMM world also means:
Serious
Mature
And
Ready
To
Embrace
Reality
What this effectively means is doing what it takes to make improvements to your intelligence.
And if you've ever asked, is intelligence fixed? The answer is no.

Can this instruction make us better at iq tests?
That is not a particular concern of this video, but perhaps.
IQ isnt what many people think. A dummy can be smarter than a genius. It isnt what you think, it is how you think. Having the ability to reason, assess reasoning, and the ability to think things through, are more important than an IQ score.
Exactly. I wish I had said it as well as you!
All the things you described are what makes IQ.
How can this be "what makes IQ"?
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM isnt iq based on how you think, that questions dont have single right answer so your process of thinking will lead you to answer.
@@blagojestojsavljevic671 It depends on the exact test you're taking.
I love the IQ test story. We would have been good friends. I still troll my exams, even when I take them seriously -- by making up answers when I don't know them, or by using deduction and statistics on multiple choice exams for answers I don't know. I always feel bad when I do better than the smart people.
One day I'll have to tell the story of when I made up my own essay question as well. I still got an A in the end after scratching out the required question and changing it to something I was prepared to talk about.
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM That's a great idea!
It's definitely a lot better than leaving pages blank.
Thank you, this was super helpful! I especially enjoyed doing the wants/needs activity :)
Glad it was helpful! This activity is useful many times in life.
Any particular learning projects you're working on at the moment?
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM Not so much any one thing, but more so taking time to break down things and think about what I want!
You know what they say about sharpening the axe. Bravo!
This is a straight forward way to improve intelligence. Thanks
Great! Enjoy the journey!
😂
So many problems within the common education system.
✏️
I was another non neurotypical kid who was held back and treated as effectively disabled. Eventually was lucky enough to have a good teacher to work with me, and help me test away from the Toxic school system early.
🧠
So helpful to be set free into the world of fun learning possibilities! Suddenly I was seen as “smart” just because the context changed. Such a joke. Just learn to be present and healthy, then let your mind flower in its own unique way. 🌺
Problems, yes, but the intention here was not to rag on the education system. It was to rag on the tyranny of metrics, but at the institutional, societal and individual levels. This represents a big difference.
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM 👍🏻
Agreed! I grew up in a US school system that completely emphasized testing as teaching. Whenever you decide to evaluate children with numbers, you’re forced to decide what is “normal,” and thus many of us are left behind.
🍎
I think very highly of teachers and the possibilities of evolution within the science of instruction. No shade intended upon anyone.
A shrink pegged my IQ at 137 when I was 8 years old. Technically, that puts me at the lower end of genius. Or it used to anyways, I think the classification has changed since then.
But you could have fooled me! I failed grade 12 math twice, and just squeaked by the 2nd time around. I’ve always had a bugger of a time learning pretty much anything, and even more trouble retaining what I have learned. Books and I have never gotten along. Reading, for whatever reason, just doesn’t sink in. I’ve just gone through life searing info into my brain through brute force of will lol.
Somehow stumbled into this memory palace stuff a few days ago… this may be what I need.
One way to look at the issue is to take reading out of the equation.
There are many ways to learn.
Is reading strictly necessary?
Don't get me wrong: I'm a reader and it strikes me as essential to the things I do and the kind of person I want to be and become.
But it's clear and logical that many people don't read much, if at all, and still do very well.
My dad never went further than grade 3 and is still one of the smartest people I know.
Finally, someone I can relate to and actually makes sense. Did the same on my SATs. I hated the prison they called public school. Apart from those great souls I met while there.
Schools do indeed have the benefit of bringing great souls together.
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM Indeed. Only reason I regret faking illness to get out of going, amongst other things. It was a very abusive, authortarian environment after the fair, old school teachers started leaving. It was no place for smart people. I had to fight 3 5th graders to use the new restroom. Not fun when your a 2nd grader. Then teachers telling you when you can,and can't use the restroom,eat lunch, do anything. The bullies, etc. I could go on for days, but you've been there, you know.
It's not just about making money! Being very intelligent opens up an exciting world of knowledge at the forefront of interesting subjects like physics and mathematics!
True, fields which expand substantially when well-funded. Often the best in the field are just as skilled at grant writing.
This Channel always has everything I need
Glad if I can be useful!
What are you studying currently?
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM I am just 17 and I am about to enter College in a month and since I've got time
I am personally trying to develop some of my skills such as Strategical, Critical Thinking cuz I took CSE and these skills are necessary
But before that I needed work on my awareness, focus , concentration so I am reading books and your mind palace for vocabulary, memorizing the entire text books, math formulas and so on have been helping me a lot since past few months.
Fantastic topics.
I have a bunch of posts about critical thinking on my blog. If you use the search function, they'll come up. It will probably be a couple of months before I turn any of them into videos.
Thanks so much for being part of the discussion and I look forward to your next post!
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM Thank you I will definitely check'em out
Great - enjoy!
Love this! I applied for Mensa not too long ago and it was illuminating to say the least
This we must hear more of!
Just shot the intro/outro for your interview, by the way. Might still be a few weeks, but excited to get it out!
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM No worries. No rush at all. Yeah it was just a really curious way of testing for ‘intelligence’.
Matching images, pattern recognition is obscure images, word/grammar play, room is to house as lake is to….and then fill in the blanks. It was all timed as well
Sounds... Well, like Mensa. ;-)
Man! This track is fire!
Burns me up every time I listen! Brain games!
the high school story hits deep because i dropped out too and failed all my iq tests too lol. also school fails in so many ways, like I was behind in reading and writing then at home I got a computer and played video games and talked to people and got way better at that than school ever could teach me, so when I came back the next grade I was better at reading than most kids. i hate school
I was never a fan of school myself, though I did like university - at least mostly. It's sad to see what they're becoming these days, however... though little worry given the great decentralized world university currently forming online.
Hey! This may be explained in the video, but is there any influence in how well you can improve at the things you speak about on your channel (For instance, memorizing numbers) by age? I’m only 14, so I’m curious if that’ll affect my improvement.
Love your content by the way!
Memorizing numbers is a great skill to have.
Here are the memory systems I suggest picking up to learn number-memory skills:

Thanks kindly. I'm glad!
Taking an I.Q. test and scoring high is on my bucket list. I know I can do it even if I might score a 1 if I took the test right now! I expect it will take a few years for me to achieve this goal. In the past I often felt like I was stupid and no one ever believed in me or gave me the encouragement I needed. I've finally learned how to actually believe in myself and encourage myself!!!!!🎉👌🤙👍🦋🙏💖Subbed!!! 😊
You can do it! 💪
Do you have courses in spanish language? Thanks for your videos. I love them
I don't yet, but hopefully soon.
Do you know Pablo Lomeli?

Muchas gracias.

Hello Anthony how are you ? I want to ask you something ,if someone can't afford your course so are free videos enough for him if he is struggling with remembering concepts and improving memory ?
Thanks for asking about this.
Neither free nor paid resources are enough.
Each person must take action.
Where there is action, there is learning and results, both in front of and behind the paywall.
Does this way of looking at things make sense?
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM absolutely and completely ! Thanks for your humble reply ❤️
My pleasure. Anything else I can do to help you out?
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM no Anthony ! You are doing great ! ❤️
🙏
I highly recommend the book the genius in all of us. It gave me a new perspective on intelligence, IQ and genius. Some insights from the book are similar to the ones given in this video. But the book goes very deep into the topic.
Thanks for the recommendation!
hi i want to study mnemonics so which books do you recommend
What do you want to learn and remember better?
More info on that will help me give you a suggestion.
Hello Anthony. Can you make an act acceptance and commitment therapy vid please if not then it's okay
Thanks for asking about this.
I don't know much about it, but if I do some research on it, I can probably put something together.
What specific questions do you have about it that haven't been answered in your personal research? What interests you about it?
Feynmans IQ was like 125.. Miles off the 'genius' mark. Yet every other scientist who knew him praise him as one of the greatest.
IQ can be telling, but it is not the be all and end all. It does not mean u are automatically 'better at science' than anybody who has a lower IQ. Passion will prob be a better metric to use... How much passion does the asker of the question have for the subject?
Well said, and the perfect question.
It does raise the question of whence passion? I think that is the greatest mystery and yet perhaps no mystery at all. We are all born in the context we're born in and things are as they are.
What do you think?
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM who knows whence passion stems, but most people I think would attribute the 'meaning' in their lives to stemming from the things they were most passionate about (if successfully persued to some degree). Or maybe passion stems from meaning. Which came first, the meaning or the egg.. I mean passion?
Its tough to say where anything comes from though, we're only one umwelt, can only ever know what anything means relative to our 1 pixel of life
The issue is that we don't actually know for sure that we're only one unwelt. "One" is a human concept that is tremendously nuanced the more one looks into it.
This suggests that the inquiry process is the key, the problem reverting back to why do some inquire and others do not?
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM Curious notion. I guess the 'conscious agents' from Don Hoffmans Interface Theory is the only way I can grasp an umwelt being divided? But then I'd say an umwelt is the sum of all those conscious agents. Although to be honest my interpretation of the word is more the 'unique way each species relates and interpretes reality' meaning the sum of every member of that species rather than on an individual level.
As for why some people do and some dont.. I think maybe all do.. But its to what they reach that differs. To some reaching for a beer from the fridge all night long will suffice.. Where as with others thats not enough. It has long frustrated me though how many people seem to not care at all about deeper understandings of things. And find it all a bore. Although it may just be that they are contented with what they have.. And more is just not necessary, where as for people like myself who are perhaps discontented and so find deeper levels as a side effect of their persuit for contentment?anyway, I digress.
The problem with umweltian conceptions and the conception of consciousness itself boils down soft vs hard solipsism relative to individual commitments to self inquiry. At the “highest” possible level all these distinctions disappear. I talked about how this can work in my TEDx talk if you haven’t seen it.
It’s possible that all do, as you say, but I’m not sure “passion” encompasses “reach” quite so robustly. Passion to reach for beer in this example most likely comes from the wish to nullify suffering more than enjoyment of the ding-an-sich. Are acts of desperation passion? Perhaps on an earlier definition of that word, but I’m not sure now.
I disagree about free will because I'm objectionist by nature. But, have you ever heard or read anything by John Taylor Gatto. If not, I believe you'd enjoy his work.
LOL for proving the point. 🎉
Gatto is fairly interesting, but not logical enough to attend to for long. He meets neither the burden if evidence nor a lot of common sense. But hey, he has no free will in it either, his own objections themselves proving the point just as well.
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM I find it difficult to believe that you've read his work or watched his CZcams videos, and reach those conclusion about what he has to say regards to education.
Thanks, Rich.
I have done both and again, he has a few interesting points. However, a lot of it what he's saying is premised upon historical books. He doesn't do enough to track the evolution of modern education and falls into a number of fallacies as a result. You can also certainly see that a lot of time has passed since he died, and surely you can recognize that time creates many redundancies.
We also have much more recent critiques and serious analyses to consider. Although I would also not give Pinker full reign to be correct either (to take just one such thinker who has addressed education issues in depth), Pinker's analysis is much more well-evidenced and includes a broad range of historical and contemporary resources.
Take it or leave it, but even though I can appreciate Gatto, I do not enjoy his work or find his conclusions fair or compelling (not that enjoyment is required). I do appreciate you mentioning him very much and for being candid. I'll be candid in return: I neither find it difficult or easy to believe you would give me such little credit when it comes to the conclusions I've reached.
But that's largely because belief is fickle and mostly irrelevant. We must work based on evidence, and that returns me to my original response to your suggestion that I would "enjoy" Gatto's work. Enjoyment just isn't at issue in scholarly matters and you haven't really said anything in your original post or your response that provides any reason for the suggestion or evidence that my response is lacking in validity.
So I'll leave you with Nietzsche's suggestion at the end of Beyond Good and Evil to seek that coldest of cold places. I have yet to see any signs in Gatto's work that he was going there, nor in your responses. But I'll give Gatto this: He certainly is good at giving critics of education "comfort food" for further criticism of the educational systems of the world. But where does criticism get anyone?
I do not know whether you would enjoy Nietzsche or not, and can only repeat that enjoyment is neither the first nor the greatest stake in intellectual matters. But if you're interested in some equally interesting analysis that may or may not have the same problems in Gatto (I think it does to a certain extent, though the work is generally finer), consider a recent translation of Nietzsche's writing on education.
This latest edition is called Anti-Education and was edited by Paul Reitter and Chad Wellmon. New York Review of Books was the publisher.
Let me know if you give it a read and by all means post here if you wish to have a charitable conversation. I so appreciate your participation in the ongoing discussions!
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM I'm more of a Mikhail Bakunin guy myself. Nietzsche comparison to man's transformation using pregnancy as his metaphor seemed to be ridiculous to me, and that's about where he lost me. I just thought Gatto's anti-compulsory education would be right in your wheel house. As for Pinker, I've always thought he like the smell of his own farts. I have read little of his work and have only listen to a couple of Pinker's lectures, but I just don't find his working all that interesting.
I do want to know. - are you a believer in determinism?
Thanks for the convo so far, but I have no further comments in any of these directions. Anything I have to say related to determinism or those who "believe" in things is covered in The Victorious Mind, particularly the conclusion.
But do let me know if you catch wind of any of Nietzsche's farts. They are very sweet indeed.
Are you a wizard?
As a matter of fact, I am. I'll be releasing a video soon with some of my card magic wizardry. Stay tuned.
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM Awesome. Thankyou for sharing your arcane wisdom!
you failed every IQ test you've ever taken?
you cant fail an IQ test, just like you cant fail a DNA test.
awkward....
Is it any less awkward than insisting on a precise meaning of "fail" in the context I'm using it?
Especially since working memory is generally considered to be better indicator of success than IQ,
